I just found this thread and am interested in getting this set up for feeding chlorine into my system. I'm having a hard time searching through all the threads. I found one person talking about a pinch valve. I liked the idea of that until he later said the heat caused the tube to flex easier, and change flow rates depending on weather.
So that leads me back to a plastic needle valve. But the only one I see mentioned is the one at US Plastics for $11 plus another $9 in shipping for a total of $20. It drives me insane paying as much for shipping as the little plastic part I need costs, so is there anyway to avoid that? Amazon? A local store?
Also, is clear vinyl tubing the decided standard for feed lines? Does that hold up to bleach?
